All pupils in the school are placed in the care of form
tutors who have the daily responsibility for their welfare, and who are the
first point of contact in all matters relating to pupils in the school.

Form time is set aside each week to enable form tutors to
monitor the progress of pupils and parents are encouraged to contact the school
immediately about matters of concern.

Form Tutors are supported by Heads of Year who have specific
responsibility for overseeing the pastoral needs of the pupils in their year
group.

The school employs a School
Counsellor who is in school once a week offering pupils regular
appointments or informal drop-ins. Likewise, we have weekly visits by the School Nurse. The school also employs
an Educational Welfare Officer to
provide support on all issues to do with student well-being.

As part of our ongoing
commitment to the emotional health and well being of all members of The Crypt
School community we join with our local neighbouring schools in promoting the
